Product table
| Product | Operating range | T° Accuracy (at 25°C, typical) |
%RH Accuracy (at 25°C, typical) |
Sensor enclosure | Cable type | Barometric Pressure (at 25°C, typical) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PTH450 | -40°C to 125°C | ±0.1°C | ±1.5 %RH | Aluminium | Silicon | 70 to 110 ±0.15 kPa |
| PTH420 | -40°C to 70°C | ±0.1°C | ±1.5 %RH | PET mesh | PVC | Idem |
| PTH200 | -40°C to 70°C | ±0.3°C | ±2.0 %RH | PET mesh | PVC | Idem |
Note: The above is a summary meant to highlight key differences. Please refer to individual product pages and datasheets for complete specifications.
Particle filter
Some models include a thin PTFE membrane that blocks more than 99.99% of particles over 200nm. This is recommended for harsh environments where extra protection against dust, soot and other contaminants is required.
Enclosure types
The enclosure covers the digital sensor probe.
| Picture | Enclosure type | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Aluminium | Excellent physical protection, extended temperature | Slower response time, higher cost |
 |
PET Mesh | Good protection, low cost | Slightly slower response time |
Cable type
Most models use standard PVC cables, but high-temperature range models use Silicon cables.
- PVC: Low-cost standard cable type, medium temperature range. Not suitable for extreme temperatures. It can crack if flexed at low temperatures.
- Silicon: High-temperature resistance, stays flexible even at low temperatures.
